Turkey Roulade is a rolled and roasted turkey breast filled with savory stuffing, herbs, and seasonings. This elegant dish delivers all the comfort and flavor of a traditional roast turkey in a compact, easy-to-slice presentation—perfect for holidays and special occasions.

Ingredients

  • 1 boneless, skinless turkey breast (about 2 1/2–3 lbs), butterflied and pounded to even thickness
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (for searing)
  • 2 tbsp butter (for cooking stuffing)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, sage, parsley), chopped
  • 3 cups bread cubes (day-old or toasted)
  • 1 cup chicken or turkey broth (as needed)
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • Kitchen twine (for tying the roulade)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add onion and celery; cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and herbs.
  2. Add bread cubes and toss to coat. Pour in enough broth to moisten the mixture without making it soggy. Stir in the beaten egg and mix well. Let the stuffing cool slightly.
  3. Lay the butterflied turkey breast flat between plastic wrap and pound to about 1/2 inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  4. Spread the cooled stuffing evenly over the turkey, leaving a 1-inch border. Roll tightly from one long side and tie with kitchen twine every 1 1/2 inches to secure.
  5. Heat olive oil or butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roulade on all sides until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes per side.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 45–60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Remove from oven, tent with foil, and rest for 10 minutes. Remove twine and slice into medallions. Serve with pan juices or gravy.

Notes

  • Prepare the roulade a day ahead and refrigerate until ready to roast.
  • Use gluten-free bread for a gluten-free version.
  • Wrap in  before roasting for extra flavor and moisture.
  • Baste with melted butter or pan drippings during roasting for added juiciness.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice cleanly across the grain.
